Our Favorite Character Actors From the Adventures of Superman

To confirm your answers, see below:

Image 016: The Magnificent Seven (1960) Natividad Vacio (Inspector Tomaio) from The Brainy Burro as Tomas. Nati had a special personal relationship with George Reeves. They were life long best of friends. Nati taught George to speak and sing in Spanish as well as play the guitar. Film stars Yul Brenner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bonson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter and Horst Bucholz. One of the all-time greatest westerns.

Image 017: That Funny Feeling (1965) Dale Van Sickle from Money to Burn. Film stars Sandra Dee, Bobby Darin, Donald O'Conner and Larry Storch. Dale's minor uncredited part was that of a taxi cab driver. You'll score big points if you watch this fun movie with the Mrs. Cut from the same cloth as the Doris Day - Rock Hudson pillow talk movies.

Image 018: That Funny Feeling (1965) Herb Vigran (Mugsy Maples) from The Big Forget. That face, that voice, instantly recognizable.

Image 019: Angels with Dirty Faces (1938) John Hamilton (Perry White) from Superman on Earth. Classic gangster film noir. Starring James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart, Pat O.Brien, Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, Billy Hallop

Image 020: It's A Wonderful Life (1939) Tom Fadden (Eben Kent) from Superman on Earth. Starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Ward Bond, Beulah Bondi, Thomas Mitchell and Henry Travers. The all time classic Christmas holiday story.

Image 021: Hit the Ice (1943) Dan Seymore (Lou Cranek) from The Mind Machine. Bud and Lou, great fun. One of the top all-time classic comedy teams. Great fun.

Image 022: It's A Wonderful Life (1939) Charles Williams (Jim) from The Clown Who Cried and (Yo Yo) from Topsy Turvey (now this even shocked me).

Image 023: Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) Frank Furgeson from The Lady in Black. Starring, Bela Legosi, Lon Chaney Jr. and Glenn Strange. Perhaps the very best of all A&C films.

Image 024: Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) Bobby Barber (Tony) from Crime Wave.

Image 025: Abbott & Costello Meet the Invisible Man (1951) Sam Balter from Crime Wave.

Image 026: Abbott & Costello in the Foreign Legion (1950) Dan Seymore (Ace) from The Stolen Costume and Henry Corden ( Johnson / Legvoo) from Drums of Death. Henry Corden replaced Alan Reed as the voice of Fred Flinstone.

Image 027: Abbott & Costello in the Foreign Legion (1950) Ted Hecht (Abdul Ben Bay) from The Tomb of Zaharan.

Image 028: Comin' Round the Mountain (1951) Robert Easton (Marvin) from The Runaway Robot. Mr. Easton is a master of dialects, and frequently coaches other actors.

Image 029: Mclintock (1963) Jack Kruschen (airport robber) from The Tomb of Zaharan. Starring John Wayne, Murreen O'Sullivan, Patrick Wayne, Stephanie Powers and Jerry Van Dyke. A light hearted western film, with a slant on Native-American support.

Image 030: Mclintock (1963) Robert Lowery (Barry Allen) from The Deadly Rock. Robert Lowery is also best known for his role as Bruce Wayne / Batman in Batman and Robin, 1949.

Image 031: Joe McDoakes short; So You Think You're Not Guilty? (1949) Phyllis Coates (Lois Lane) from Superman on Earth. I wanted to showcase Phyllis as more than just Panther Girl of the Jungle or I was a Teenage Frankenstein as she is mostly identified outside the 1951 TV Superman series. She appeared as Alice McDoakes in up to 22 shorts, from 1948 to 1956.

Image 032: Joe McDoakes short; So You Think You're Not Guilty? (1949) Ralph Sanford (Superburger customer) from My Friend Superman.

Image 033: Blood in the Sand (1945) Hugh Beaumont (Dan Grayson) from The Big Squeeze. Best known as Ward Cleaver in the popular Leave it to Beaver series.

Image 034: The Thin Man (1934) Philips Tead (Professor Pepperwinkle) from All That Glitters. Difficult to recognize because of his young appearance, but listen for the voice..undeniably our favorite absent minded professor.

Image 035: It's A Wonderful Life (1939) Dick Elliot (Sam Bleaker) from No Holds Barred. Doesn't matter what film I see him in, I still expect to hear him say "Hi Clarkie Boy."

Image 036: Puck Privates (1941) Jane Frazee from Panic in the Sky.

Image 037: Hold That Ghost (1941) Frank Richards (Sully) from A Night of Terror.

What I find common in most of the actors listed above is they all have their own unique distinctive voice. If you go back through the list you can almost hear their voices echo through your memory.
